Tools and skills for humans and agents to review via Magnifica Humanitas

A new review framework based on Pope Leo XIV's encyclical *Magnifica Humanitas* provides tools and skills for both humans and AI agents to evaluate whether projects preserve judgment, conscience, relationships, and responsibility. The framework, created by an AI researcher who led the initial responsible AI review for GitHub Copilot, includes questions about shared benefits, public understanding, real agency, worker respect, and the ability for affected people to challenge harmful decisions. The review is designed for any project, with a particular focus on AI initiatives.

Magnifica Humanitas review

Tools and skills for humans and agents to review things through the frame of the Magnifica Humanitas.

How to use

What is it good for

Projects that use AI, certainly, but also... anything you want.

Review questions

Does it preserve judgment, conscience, relationships, and responsibility?

Are benefits shared broadly, especially with people most likely to be excluded?

Does it strengthen public understanding instead of rewarding confusion?

Does it expand real agency instead of steering, addicting, or surveilling?

Does it respect workers, livelihoods, families, and transition costs?

Can affected people understand, challenge, and remedy harmful decisions?
